Games like The Last of Us

4.2average player rating•5 games

The infected were never the point. The Last of Us works because it makes you care about two people and then keeps asking what you'd do for them. These put story first and survival second.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series
Adventure
The other great gruff-guardian-and-girl story. Less shooting, more choices you'll regret.
4.4/5Player ratingMC84View game
2
Detroit: Become Human
ActionAdventure
Cinematic to its bones, with branching paths where characters you're attached to can simply not make it.
4.3/5Player ratingMC79View game
3
Metro Exodus
ActionShooter
Scarce ammo, improvised gear, and a crew you slowly come to like. Survival where every bullet is a decision.
4.2/5Player ratingMC81View game
4
A Plague Tale: Innocence
ActionAdventure
Two siblings, one hostile world, and a protective bond that carries the whole game. The closest emotional match on PC.
4.1/5Player ratingMC82View game
5
Days Gone
Action
Post-outbreak America on a motorbike — scavenging, stealth, and hordes that turn a bad plan into a sprint.
